Heartbreaking to think that these parents buried 4 children, aged from infant to 4 years old. Life expectancy of babies at that time was pretty low – some families didn’t bother to name a baby until it had reached its first birthday!

I came across a few graves of revolutionary war veterans in this cemetery in Stowe, Vermont. One died at age 80, 180 years ago, after fighting a war 240 years ago. Amazing that their gravestones have survived the Vermont weather this long.
